Pulp & Paper chemicals
Hey there, little one! Do you know what paper is made of? It's made from trees! But before the trees can become paper, they have to go through a process called pulping.
During pulping, the trees are chopped up into small pieces and mixed with water. This makes a big sloshy mixture called pulp. But there are still some things in the pulp that we don't want in our paper. That's where pulp and paper chemicals come in!
Pulp and paper chemicals are special materials that help make the pulp into paper. One kind of chemical is called a bleaching agent. It helps make the paper white and shiny. Another kind of chemical is called a sizing agent. It makes the paper stronger and more resistant to water.
There are lots of different kinds of pulp and paper chemicals, and they all have their own special jobs. But no matter what kind of chemical it is, it helps make sure that the paper we use every day is strong, smooth, and just the right color. So next time you use a piece of paper, you can thank the pulp and paper chemicals for making it possible!
